The New Yorker:
The TV That Created Donald Trump: Rewatching “The Apprentice,” the show that made his Presidency possible
By Emily Nussbaum

For months, it felt easier to avoid watching Donald Trump on television. It was like sniffing spoiled milk: you didn’t need a sip to know it was bad . . . . [But] it’s become a wearying, ugly observation, a media truism at once superficial and deep: if “The Apprentice” didn’t get Trump elected, it is surely what made him electable.

POTUS is a wuss. As unitary executive, theoretically he has the power to order AG Jeff Sessions to investigate Hillary's so-called "crimes". But he hates to confront people face-to-face so he back-stabs them in the media.
